>>160781616

Ok sure, but Talabecland is fucking huge and has 2 settlements. Nordland has a panhandle that's empty. The Wasteland is just wasted space, Middenland could easily have 4 settlements like Reikland. And there's basically no reason why each Imperial province can't have at least 3 settlements.

Yes, it is. It doesn't take much at all, though your artillery should still be looking for better targets than the blob engaging your line, especially if your troop quality is higher than theirs

>>160781834
I actually want more fuckery in the empire lands. But the real problem is the hordes' inability to keep themselves alive. You could throw four or five more greenskin/beast hordes in there, but they'll just be getting themselves killed with their current AI.

>>160782705

What's the best tactic against monster rushes through your gates when playing dwarfs? Having Thunderers/Trollhammer Torps behind a wall of Longbeards?

Why do battles in previous total war games feel so much more satisfying compared to warhammer? I love warhammer fantasy but something just feels, off about the battles. I don't know what it is. Sieges are obvious because they're pathetic in warhammer but in general they aren't as satisfying.

>>160785352

>>160789217
WH battles are better

Its fun to see huge monsters turn small units into paste

The cavalry charges are also awesome

I better be able to make archer only stacks like Sylvan Elves in Third Age Total War or I will regret purchasing this DLC

>>160789709
why wouldn't you be able to?

>>160789217
I agree about sieges due to not sieges being terrible, but every single siege being exactly the same. hopefully we get the battle map editor sometme next year. gonna make a heap of maps

as for battles, as other anons have said the variety is fantastic

>>160789217
Maybe the lack of matched combat animations.

>>160789709
It's confirmed that your lords have segmented skill trees with one side focused purely on melee and the other purely on range. Assuming the lord him/herself has a bow you can absolutely have a 100% ranged army.

>>160790160

We gotta admit that it would have been much much more work if they had to match the animations for Warhammer

>>160790160
Matched combat is stupid, and pretty much the only thing I don't like about S2.

>>160790160
Charges and hits in general in TWW feels more impactful than combat in Attila and Rome 2 imo. I like it.

>>160790340

Yeah this

Charges in Warhammer feel really great and I suspect the lack of matched animations played a part

>>160789017

Azhag probably

>>160790461
They might be able to make the combat feel more impactful WITH matched animations in the next historical release. Their matched animation system has improved a lot over the years. Rome 2 introduced dynamic combat animation "sequences" that ends in a "random" outcome.

Let's hope for the best.

Dwarves, much like birds, have hollow bones.

>>160791298
Dwarfs wouldn't be particularly heavy though, a full plate of armour isn't that heavy on a person never mind a 4ft tall midget.

>>160791746
Dwarfs are supposed to be shorter but heavier than Men because of their muscle mass.

>>160791746
These are hugely muscled, densely built guys though. And they don't qualify as midgets, they're... dwarfs. A midget is small but normally proportioned for a human.

Anyone got the rolling chart for Total Warhammer? Figure i'll get one more campaign in before Wood Elves shit everything up.

Mother fucker dwarfs weigh just as much if not more then humans. That's like saying elves weigh more then burly men just because they are taller. Now compound that with men and dwarfs.

>>160792352
>>160792397
Even if they pack a lot more muscle for their height, it's still unlikely that they're heavier than men. It's just not very biologically feasible.

It's entirely reasonable to make assumptions from general biology, and density doesn't vary that much unless we're going full "lol, it's magic". There's some variance, but height/length is a very good predictor for the weight of any specimen.

It is now Official. Athel Loren is radiant in its resplendence. Delicate young boys cavort for the delight of their mistresses, and the luminescence of sprites and pixies flicker through the enchanted wood. The Sisters of Twilight languorously uncurl from their embrace; panpipes flute a tune of merriment throughout the halls of the summerstrand. The diverting indignities of gorposting and Deep-Thinking Goblins are a receding memory, a windblown fragment of the season past. All Asrai make ready for frolic and improductivity; indolence is the watchword, and none can be found but are feverishly, zealously committed to inactivity.

From the Oak of Ages, the Eternal Queen watches and is warmed by the celebrations of her people. In such a festive air, Orion's rebirth cannot but be imminent; Ariel's handmaidens ceaselessly weave flowers into her hair, presenting an endless procession of styles and and aspects by which their beloved monarch might greet her consort. Those that retain a sense of time and worldly events look to his arrival; Naieth's divinations serve only to confirm what the jubilant atmosphere of the forest makes evident.

>>160797597
>araby
>implying they wont just be Tileans or something

Are they going to add formations in the next game?

With the new and improved charge collision mechanics, giant monsterous units, and all this artillery, formations would be pretty darn useful.... and fun.

I unironically hope that the next historic TW is gun centric. Is this a very minority opinion? Is it still kewl to hate on guns?

>>160798301
They might just be added in a patch like it appears night battles will be for the Wood Elves.

>>160797597

Naggarond will be a bitch to invade depending on how the landing zones on the bay works

Also, funny how you made Anlec a Druchii settlement, I mean it could easily be justifiable if the starting point is a Dark Elf invasion, but Anlec can be easily taken out by a High Elf player, while Arnheim can not.

And that is shit balance if mirroring was your idea

They'd have to change Kislev quite a bit to make it work as a player faction. Otherwise it'd be just way too easy. After a few wars with the norscans the entire old world would be worshiping at your feet. It'd be like Empire: training wheels edition.

preferable really, with Beastmen/Wood Elves/Bretonnia/Snarsnik/Beggar Nohammer being added to the game, there's a lot more attention on the southern realms than there used to be and they are so boring and empty.

Yes and no. No in that its actually a decent skirmish game and most of the old models are still perfectly valid with rules for the game, yes in that its a terrible setting and the new factions are terrible.

For my first time playing Empire would you guys recommend playing it as-is or using hte "dart mod" in the paste-bin? The paste-bin says it fixes(?) a lot of things.

post gore

>>160806683
Basically. All warfare, even modern warfare, at the simplest level, boils down to either trying to flank the enemy and attack the rear, and if at all possible create an encirclement, or trying to force a breakthrough in the enemy like with superior force. The second is more difficult in TW since lines often start routing all at once, or if you try to concentrate forces in the center, you end up opening yourself to being flanked since battles in TW are almost always all in affairs.

>>160807028
Force concentration is probably more apt term, seeing as that surrounding the enemy isn't the only way to make that happen and the concept is relevant in operational and strategical levels as well instead of just battles.

I can tell warhammer is going to end as a fuckin mess of a game.
Each new faction they add is going to have cooler and more unique mechanics than the last, and theyre never going to bring all of them up to the same standard.

We dont even have Regiments of Renown for everyone yet, and the last DLC brought new starting locations and new factions within races which dont seem to have any plan of being unified yet. Now were getting even more unique campaign LL and normal lord mechanics + unique adaptable units with the arrow types and such.

>>160802446
A lot of it IS hyperbole as GW are slowly "fixing" it as they add more stuff.

That said you are talking about whats basically a new game/setting thats using the old's corpse as a coat.

Personally I don't like it because the new has nothing I liked about the old in it, from lore to aesthetics to rules.

>>160807610
Regiments of Renown are a mistake.

>>160807360
True, force concentration is the most fundamental part of warfare. Which is why it kind of pisses me off that you can't do it very well in TW games. It's always:
>Hold the line with some tanky infantry
>Flank with Cav or fast moving infantry
>Ranged units pepper units from behind the main line or from the flanks, unless you're playing Empire/Nappy where infantry is all ranged

I think part of the problem is that, outside of Napoleon and Empire, it's basically impossible to disengage from and enemy with out taking massive losses, nor can you, in any game, make melee units move slowly backwards while staying engaged to create Hannibal style encirclement. You also never keep reserves, since doing so means that the AI is just going to swarm you. There's a breadth of tactical options you're denied due to this.

Imagine Chaos for example, and the only units you can hire normally are low tier, and all the high tier units are RoR that you earn through special battles and doing Chaos-y stuff

So Dwarves are basically unbreakable huh?

As the ambush becomes a battle, 2nd Helmgart is hit with some sort of magical plague cloud that floors them - they and 1st Carroburg are stranded in the forest, chopping away at Gors as they leap from between the trees to charge at them. The terrified men can hear louder and deeper howls and roars echoing throughout the forest, as well as the regular thundering of the cannons.

The demigryph knights are riding clear of the ambush, blasting through before the last escape route is closed off. Arrows are streaming through the trees in all directions, loosed by ungor raiders and the 3 ranger companies.

Minotaurs are crawling all over one steam tank, cleaving at it in an effort to break in, and the two giant brothers are bashing away at another. Karl Franz swoops in and bitch slaps one giant before crashing into a minotaur hammer-first, joining the fight where the danger is greatest.

The winds of magic are blowing hard from the north, and Von Blount the amber wizard goes on an insane spellcasting spree, summoning a manticore and a swarm of angry crows, and granting magical protection to the entire left flank.

I think they are maybe a bit fast and moshpitty.

Isnt dwarf armour supposed to be really tough but really light to wear?

>>160819454
It would have to be. Stunted special needs children can't lift anything very heavy.

who cares

>>160819654
I care very much about those two specific lines you greentexted, but the third one you failed to mention:
>mobile
is filth beyond compare

>>160818769
keep going anon

>>160819454
No. That's elf armor. Dwarfs can actually handle much heavier armor in comparison to there height because they are naturally inclined to be musclebound.

As the ambushing army congeals along the imperial troops' defensive lines, 2nd and 3rd Carroburg are sent out to relieve the stranded companies.

Ghorroz the doombull in command of the minotaur-heavy force charges the center of the main line, but Franz is on a monster-slaying spree and leaps off after breaking one of the giants to crush the great bull.

1st Helmgart, fighting in close amidst the tanks, keeps the continually arriving gors away and slowly peels the minotaurs off of the tanks.

The demigryph knights obliterate a unit of gors without stopping, and plow through to harass the Cygors and rend the ungor archers.

As the remaining giant brother gets smashed in the belly by yet another cannonball, he decides he's had enough and turns tail. As he leaves, he begins a chain rout that takes the entire attacking force nearby with him.

What ? You mean siege battles ? It was capture the town center in Rome 1 aswell

>>160820324
i heard that there's no fight to the last man option anymore in any mode

>>160820205
They had capture points in field battles at first but I'm pretty sure they removed those

>>160820205
It's fight until your men run away like it has always been. Sieges have a capture point because otherwise they're mechanically retarded.
